New York Times: “Current and former aides to Mr. Trump sent one another messages as the hearing took place, describing a series of disclosures that they conceded were potentially quite damaging, mostly politically but also, potentially, legally.”
Punchbowl News: “If you asked any Trump world insider who would be the least likely person to testify against the administration, Hutchinson would be atop that list. She was loyal to Trump to a fault – despite what Trump says now. Hutchinson was in every meeting with Meadows and was one of his top defenders.”
Playbook: “Trump allies will seek out any potentially disputable aspect of her testimony and use it to discredit her entirely. … The select committee has also staked a lot on Hutchinson’s credibility holding up — and there was lots of confidence from the panel after Tuesday’s hearing that she had delivered effectively.”
Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney: “This is explosive stuff. … I know her. I don’t think she is lying.”
